Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to get feels on a ****
Now I throw shields on the ****
To stop me from the **** V ****
And the **** know they soft like a twinkie fillin'
Playing the villain
Prepare for this rap killin'
Biggie Smalls is the illest
Your style is played out, like Arnold wondered
"What you talking about Willis?"
The thrill is gone, the black Frank White
Is here to excite and throw **** ****
**** I like 'em brainless
**** I like them stainless steel
I want the **** fortune like the wheel
I squeeze **** till my clips is empty
Don't temp me
You don't want to **** with M.E.
[Verse 2]
Here I am, I'll be damned if they think you ****
Come to spread the butter lyrics over hominy grit
It's the low killer death trap, yes I'm a jet black ninja
Comin' where you rest at, surrender
Step inside the ring, you's the number one contender
Lookin' cold booty like ya **** in December **** stop
Button up your lip, from Method all you gettin is a can of **** whippin'
Hey, I'll be kickin', you son, you doin' all the yappin'
Actin' as if it can't happen
You front and got me mad enough to touch somethin'
Yo I'm from Shaolin, Island and ain't afraid to bust somethin'
So whatchu want ****, you want ****
I got a six-shooter and a horse named Trigger
It's real, ninety-four, rugged raw
Kickin' down your **** damn door (It goes a little something like this)
[Verse 3]
**** the world, don't ask me for ****
And everything you get ya gotta work hard for it
Honies shake your hips, ya don't stop
**** pack the clips, keep on
[Verse 4]
Verse two, comin' with that old Hebrew
Meth-tical, puttin **** back in I.C.U
I'm lifted troop, you can bring yours wack **** crew
I got connections, I get that **** stuck like glue
Huh, no question, I be comin' down and ****
Yo I gets rugged as a **** carpet get and **** love it
Not in the physical form but in the mental
I spark and they cells get warm
I'm not a gentle, man, I'm a Method Man
Baby accept it, utmost respect it
(Assume the position)
Stop look and listen
I spit on your grave then I grab my Charles Dickens
[Verse 5]
Welcome to my center
Honies feel in deep in the placenta
Cold as the pole in the winter
Far from the inventor, but I got this rap **** sewed
And when my Mac unloads
I'm guaranteed another video
Ready to die, why I act that way?
Pop Duke left Mom Duke
The **** took the back way
So instead of makin' **** **** **** up
I used to do stick-up
'Cause **** is irritatin' like the hiccups
Excuse me, flows just grow through me
Like trees the branches
Cliffs to avalanches
It's the praying mantis
Deep like the mind of Farrakhan
A **** rap phenomenon, plus
(I got more Glocks and Tecs then you)
I make it hot (**** won't even stand next to you)
**** touch me you better bust me tree times in the head
Or **** dead, ya thought so
[Verse 6]
**** the world, don't ask me for **** (Uh huh)
And everything you get ya gotta work hard for it
Honies shake your hips, ya don't stop
**** pack the clips, keep on
**** the world, don't ask me for **** (Uh huh)
Everything you get ya get ya gotta work hard for it
Honies shake the hips, ya don't stop
**** pack the clips keep on
Uh yeah
[Verse 7]
For the Meth-tical (Yeah, yeah)
Ninety-four(Uh, uh)
Comin' at you raw Shaolin Island
(Yeah)
